Looking for a 2005/2006 article
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2026 6:29 pm
This is a long shot but maybe someone here can help me out.
I am looking for a pretty old and niche article from around 2005-2006, basically an interview with Polly (mostly) about growing up in Dorset but lacking the interviewer’s questions, sort of just written in first person as told to the journalist. I think it was accompanied by photo of her and her mother. I can’t remember the details, but it felt very local, definitely not mainstream music press—I think she was mentioning a guy who worked with her father (?) who she had a crush on as a child and was bringing him peanut butter sandwiches (??). She also talked about having a friend transfer some borrowed Russian vinyls to tape for her. IIRC the article was shared among PJ fans back in the day as scans, not as a transcription.
Ringing any bells for anyone? Or have I just fully hallucinated this?
